The company sees many startups, educational institutions and vloggers seeking its services to launch TV apps and mobile apps for streaming purposes. “One of the key reasons content creators and media publishers select Lightcast.com is its cost-efficiency, providing an opportunity to save valuable financial resources compared to other “patchwork solutions”,” says Andreas. “Many large media corporations, schools and universities are transitioning away from developing and maintaining in-house patchwork systems, which involve costly contracts with multiple vendors, extensive in-house staff with diverse skillsets, and complex overhead management. Lightcast.com streamlines OTT and multiplatform publishing for organisations of all sizes, from small businesses to large corporations.” Not only does Lightcast.com deliver financial savings, but the company also provides clients with the ability to conserve time, another compelling factor that drives publishers to choose its services.
